The intriguing story of Mata Hari and her determination to define the course of her life and make her own rules as she constructed a legendary persona is the inspiration behind this collection.
The collection pays homage to the courageous story of Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa who led the Ashanti rebellion against British colonialism to defend the Golden Stool. 20% of all proceeds of the collection are donated to www.mamahope.org
Inspired by Artemisia of Halicarnassus, the carved floral motifs in the collection pay homage to details of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus which she commissioned and forms of the sea that she successfully navigated to protect her territory from neighboring islands who believed a woman could not defend her region without a King.
